Common Concerns Answered
Is this sender compatible with my existing tank monitoring system?
The Blue Sea 1810 VSM 422 Tank Sender is engineered exclusively for integration with the Blue Sea Systems VSM 422 monitor (PN 1800). It is not designed as a standalone sender or for compatibility with other monitoring systems.
Why is the price higher than basic float senders?
This unit utilizes advanced SSI Technologies, Inc. Fluid-Trac® non-contacting technology and digital filtering, offering superior accuracy and reliability by eliminating mechanical wear and sloshing errors. This advanced design justifies the higher investment for critical fluid management.
Can I use this sender with just any tank?
Yes, it can be used with diesel, water, or waste tanks, but it must be calibrated for each specific tank using the Blue Sea Systems VSM 422 monitor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tanks can the Blue Sea 1810 VSM 422 Tank Sender be used with?
The Blue Sea 1810 VSM 422 Tank Sender is designed for monitoring diesel, water, or waste tanks.
Is the Blue Sea 1810 VSM 422 Tank Sender compatible with systems other than the VSM 422?
No, this sender is calibrated for use with the Blue Sea Systems VSM 422 (PN 1800) monitor exclusively and is not compatible with other systems.
How does the Fluid-Trac® technology work?
